Coarctation of the aorta following coil occlusion of a patent ductus arteriosus.
A case is described in which coarctation of the aorta develops following coil occlusion of a patent ductus arteriosus with a single Gianturco coil. This finding has yet to be reported in children undergoing this procedure and demonstrates the possibility of its occurrence and brings into question the need for and the duration of antibiotic prophylaxis following coil deployment.
